[edit] Career

[edit] Before Wrestling

Robinson was attending college on a baseball scholarship when he was approached by a Marine Corp recruiter and signed up with an open contract to 2nd Battalion Hotel Company at Parris Island. Robinson was one of only 30 recruits to graduate (from an intake of 299) and was designated 0311, serving time in Bosnia.

[edit] Early Career

After leaving the Marine Corps, Robinson trained under Tracy Smothers, and started his career working for Kentuckiana Championship Wrestling. He formed a tag team with Blaze, who soon was working for Ian Rotten's IWA Mid-South. Being a huge ECW fan, Robinson attended one of the shows, and was soon wrestling for them on a regular basis, debuting in 1997.

[edit] IWA Mid-South

Before IWA Mid-South, and indeed for the first year there, Robinson was known as a "pure wrestler". This was all to change however in February 1998 at "No Blood No Guts No Glory 98". Robinson was originally scheduled to face Shark Boy, while Mad Man Pondo was set to conclude a violent feud with a wrestler called Trailer Park Trash. The Pondo-Trash match was booked for Pondo to win, however, Trailer Park Trash refused to take part, so Ian Rotten switched the opponents and Robinson took part in his first hardcore match.

From there, Corporal Robinson went on to compete in a wide range of deathmatches in IWA, including 6 King of the Deathmatch tournaments. Robinson also claimed the IWA-MS Heavyweight Championship on 2 occasions, as well as being a 2 time IWA-MS Deathmatch Champion.

[edit] Juggalo Championship Wrestling

Robinson debuted for Juggalo Championship Wrestling on July 14, 2006 in a Tag Team match alongside 2 Tuff Tony. He went on to become the JCW World Heavyweight Champion, and is often seen wearing Insane Clown Posse clothing, even when wrestling for other promotions.

[edit] Outside Wrestling

Robinson also has a part in the upcoming movie, Death Racers, a parody of the upcoming Death Race 2000 remake (titled Death Race and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson). The movie also features ICP and is being directed by Roy Knyrim. It is set to be shown on Sci-Fi.
